Copy, Cut, Paste, Delete, and Reorder

Learn some of the functions of the Contents View to rearrange your content items

If you find that you need to delete, copy or move a webpage, image or other content item, you must first navigate to the Contents tab of the task bar. You should see a listing of the current items in whatever folder you happen to be in. It should look something like this:

copy-cut-delete-contents

























Now simply select the items you'd like to modify by checking the box next to it. You can select everything within a given folder by clicking the top most box. Now, you may copy, cut or delete the selected items. If you chose copy or cut, you'll see that Paste is added as a choice after the page reloads. In order to paste the item into a new place in the site, you will need to navigate into that area. For the example shown above, if you wanted to move the "News" item into the "Programs" folder, you would click on the name "Programs" and then click the Paste button.

If you need to rearrange the items within a folder, use the arrows listed under the order column of the Contents view. You can only move one item at a time, and it only moves one space at a time, so this process can be a little slow.
